This – the name speaks for itself.

This AG was founded in 2014 as a start-up high-tech company comprising proven experts who have significant knowledge and practical experience in industrial medical R&D and production. The name "This" stands for “Think in System” and reflects both our mindset and the way we design and produce ophthalmic systems: systematically, logically and holistically.

  • 4 years of development

    The design and development time of our first medical device – from day one until market launch at ESCRS 2018 in Vienna – lasted 4 years. Along with the design of Sophi, the structure and processes of the company This AG were built and enhanced continuously.

  • dozens of prototypes

    After only 4 years a whole collection of prototypes exists. The development stages of Sophi can be comprehended with these prototypes. Particularly the pumping system and the cassette were built as prototypes at early development stages.

  • countless hours of joy

    Only joy and pleasure behind one’s work make such projects possible. That was indeed the case with Sophi. This AG offers an environment that encourages creativity and promotes and challenges individual strengths.

Systematic thinking is not restricted to technology

When we at "This" speak of thinking in terms of systems, we refer not only to the system of the device, but also to everyone working with that device in the field. Learning from surgeons and surgical teams, our engineers, customer service and sales teams have the desire to know and understand each work process around our device in detail, which enables them to drive innovation and optimization forward.

This AG is not only responsible for the design, but also for the manufacture, license and sale to local distributors worldwide. As an end-user, you can benefit from a knowledgeable distributor near you.
